I don't know if SN was compiled for CYGWIN, or as a native WIN32 program
(tip: look at the DLLs needed by SN; if you don't find cygwin1.dll then SN
is a pure WIN32 program).
If SN is a pure WIN32 program then he will not be able to find /usr/bin/rm,
as this file, when viewed from Windows, is "C:\cygwin\usr\bin\rm", assuming
you installed cygwin in "C:\cygwin" as the installer propose it.
You must then put "C:\cygwin\usr\bin" in your Windows path, so that SN will
be able to find the cygwin tools.

PS: Note that with old versions of Cygwin (back to the B20 era), this was
not a problem as cygwin installed in the C: root directory by default; you
also can install newer cygwins there, although you get bored by the
installer that will insist that this is "not recommended", while I never
understand what the problem may be (and I'm using it installed there without
any problem for quite a long time).
